Recent Testimonials by Brand Ambassadors on their Experience with Whom You Know

"I work with Peachy Deegan because she's prolific at what she does. She's a hard worker, she's thoughtful and she's tasteful at what she writes which is very important. Peachy gets the facts correct, and just that alone is worth its weight in gold."

"We at Primola love working with Whom You Know and are proud to have been a highly-ranked Manhattan restaurant by Peachy Deegan since 2012, and are featured seasonally. We appreciate the fantastic work Peachy does highlighting our cuisine with her sublime writing style and the whole neighborhood of the Upper East side. Also, we are glad that she has started a Made in Italy column! If you have the opportunity to be considered for review, we'd highly recommend working with her."

"My Irish soul sister has created an incredible presence for my signature Donna Degnan brand on her multi-media sites. I applaud her tenacity and professionalism and I deeply appreciate her personal attention to not only me but also to everyone she highlights. I was deeply honored to be featured in Whom You Know's 'Made in America' column. As a fashion designer, I am very proud to produce my entire collection in New York City and so impressed with the wonderful job Peachy did introducing me to her many followers."

"Peachy is just that. We interviewed when my show hit US screens and was polite and friendly. She covers a lot of bases and asks for detail others don't which helps to deeply engage an audience. Twitter and my site both showed massive traffic and lots of other enquiries followed. She's a peachy gal!"

Peachy Deegan is a gem. She is wonderful to feature our Irish brands in 'Whom You Know'! The articles are beautifully and passionately presented, bringing products and brands to life, making both relevant and fun for her many faithful followers to read. I am immensely proud for our hand-crafted products to be included in this venue!"

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty betweenPeachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"

If only those two Major Marines could see him now! Regis Philbin has won one for The Gipper with this killer autobiography which is flying off the shelves quite literally. Peachy does frequent Manhattan bookstores to check out what is selling well and we see a lot of people with this one checking out with smiles on their faces, and they can’t all have graduated from Notre Dame.

After 17,000 hours on television, it’s no wonder why Regis Philbin now has enough material to write a book!!! And to think that he once said he really didn’t have any special talent-nonsense! “How I Got This Way” is a fantastic read for anyone that likes to be intelligently entertained by a product of an outstanding Jesuit education with discriminating tastes in football. Modestly told by Regis himself in chapters dedicated and credited to the individuals that were most influential in his storied career, “How I Got This Way” segues seamlessly from person to person adding color to a life that is clearly Technicolor already, and it is perhaps his humility and gratefulness that impresses us the most. If you are in Peachy’s generation you’re going to have no idea who many of these characters are that he refers to-but that only gives you an excuse to employ google search and learn something-and wish you had been there to see it yourself.

Many autobiographies have inflated views of self while in contrast this one by Regis eagerly connects with the reader who clearly is engaged right off the bat by David Letterman’s cheeky foreword-though we are still trying to decipher the Lincoln connection. You know we admire Regis greatly and Peachy’s dream of making a bet with him for the Holy War (Notre Dame vs. Boston College for those of you that don't practice Catholic football as a religion) came true last fall…although the score was not what she had dreamed of (David Gordon where are you when we need you?! Note: The Holy War Score was decided by a good field goal by Gordon in 1993-You know Peachy’s shirt: God is Good (front) So Was Gordon’s Kick (back)) Though he is now unemployed, Regis did forgive that bet when Peachy spoke to him on Geraldo’s radio show…after she complimented him on how fantastic this book is! By the way Regis, Peachy highlighted her favorite parts of this book in green in tribute to Notre Dame…but she couldn’t help but notice that the color of the book is a beautiful maroon hue and the book cover is written in maroon and gold-what a combination!

How can anyone not love Regis! He has lived a life of true quality from his first position in the military and his strong upbringing by his parents-consistently throughout his life you can tell he is genuinely a great person true to his word that echo his actions. In this book you'll hear it all and learn so much from someone that is worth learning from. It was not always rainbows and sunshine we see now and remember, overnight success does not happen overnight. Regis has old school values that we embrace and admire that are not nearly celebrated enough today in the mainstream media-and we celebrate them in a big way with this book: Regis has style with substance…and we ought to know about the style part he is a winner in black tie:

Of course, that is Peachy, Regis and Joy...And the substance you will find in this great book.

We hate to give too much away, but here are the Top Ten Reasons Why You Want to Read this Book (Letterman maybe you should have done this instead of marking up Lincoln):

1. Don’t you want to know how Regis came to serenade Bing Crosby! What did he sing? You must read this.

2. Elaborately planned pranks by graduates of Notre Dame, particularly while in the military, may in fact supercede the talents of more recent Jesuit grads-read up to have one up on the next last laugh!

3. It’s not what you’re doing but how exciting you make it-see the Piggy Bank story

4. Patience is a virtue and twenty years may be worth it

5. George Clooney has a villa in Italy where amazing dinner parties are thown…and wouldn’t you like to know what happens there! (If in fact, it can be remembered…)

6. The photography included is both priceless and classic; and let’s face it: don’t you want to see Regis in a flight suit! And driving the 1240 KSON News Vehicle! And dressed like Fonzie…and…and!!!

7. Don’t you want to know what Steinbrenner’s box was like?

8. You’ll know what to do once you know you want it! [Conquer the world to get it! See how Regis did just that…]

(You'll find you wisdom increasing) With each person in his personal town

(Be sure that your ears are open) and you'll hear quite a sound

When you're done you're going to want to send him flowers

But he'd rather have Notre Dame undefeated with all of God's powers

So when you watch in wonder when you see him on tv

You'll know How He Got This Way cause it's that we told you to read!

After five decades in show business—and nearly 17,000 unforgettable hours on television—Regis Philbin has a lifetime’s worth of stories to share.

In this entertaining memoir, the irrepressible Reege—consummate talk show host, man about town, loving husband, father, and obsessive sports fan—looks back at his years in show business. How I Got This Way (It Books; on sale: November 15, 2011; ISBN: 9780062109750) is filled with stories of lessons learned—and elbows rubbed—with extraordinary, and often unsuspecting, teachers: David Letterman, Donald Trump, George Clooney, Howard Stern, Jack Nicholson; legendary Notre Dame coaches Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, and Lou Holtz; and, of course, longtime cohosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Kelly ‘Pippa’ Ripa, as well as his own lovely wife, Joy—to name just a few.

Whether he’s revealing what really drove him “bonkers” on the set of Seinfeld, how he survived the first known bomb scare on live TV, what Jack Nicholson said about his beautiful leading ladies during their guys’ night out together, or poignant memories of his last moments with his idol and dear friend, Jack Paar, Regis packs every page of How I Got This Way with his signature heart, wit, dynamic energy, and gratitude for everything life has brought him.

REGIS PHILBIN has been entertaining television audiences for more than fifty years, in daytime reigning as a beloved morning-show host, in nighttime as an über game-show host and also as a fixture on national and local late-night shows. He is most widely known for Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee and its subsequent incarnation Live! With Regis and Kelly; Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Million Dollar Password, and the first season of America's Got Talent. Regis is the proud recipient of five Emmy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, a Broadcasting & Cable Lifetime Achievement Award, the Walter Camp Distinguished American Award at Yale University, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2006 Regis was inducted into both the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame and the Television Academy’s Hall of Fame. Regis lives in New York and Connecticut with his lovely wife, Joy.
